Has Spidey finally met a superior foe? Spider-Man is grief-stricken after a shocking death - but there's no shortage of super villains lining up to put him in the grave, as well! First up: a revitalized and upgraded Doctor Octopus! As Otto takes his deadlier-than-ever tentacles on a rampage through Oscorp, can Spidey clean Doc Ock's clock? With his back against the wall, perhaps a surprising ally can swing things in the wall-crawler's favor! Then, wedding bells are ringing, and Peter Parker has to make it to the church on time - because he's the best man! Janice Lincoln and Randy Robertson are tying the knot, and there's no way that all the crime bosses in NYC aren't seeing this as an opportunity to knock off the father of the bride: the whispering menace Tombstone! Collecting AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (2022) #27-31.
A writer for the Emmy Award-winning animated series Robot Chicken and co-creator of the stop-motion SuperMansion, Zeb Wells began making a name for himself at Marvel with his irreverent New Warriors limited series, which provided an inspiration for key story threads that would later appear in Civil War; he also wrote the Civil War: Young Avengers & Runaways tie-in. His collaboration with the late Seth Fisher on Fantastic Four/Iron Man: Big in Japan produced one of the 21st century’s most charming comics. Wells’ other credits include Daredevil: Battlin’ Jack Murdock, Venom: Dark Origin, Dark Reign: Elektra and Spider-Man/Doctor Octopus: Year One. He also contributed to the thrice-monthly “Brand New Day” era of Amazing Spider-Man, most notably with the “Shed” storyline; wrote two Carnage limited series; and helped relaunch New Mutants. Wells has returned to the world of the wall-crawler, teaming with the legendary John Romita Jr. for a new volume of Amazing Spider-Man.
Artist Ed McGuinness came to prominence with his work on Harris Comics’ Vampirella and Marvel’s Deadpool. At Awesome Entertainment, McGuinness participated in a Fighting American revamp with writer Jeph Loeb, who would become a longtime collaborator. A short run on WildStorm’s Mr. Majestic led to a longer one on DC Comics’ Superman and the launch of Superman/Batman with Loeb. Back at Marvel, McGuinness reunited with Loeb for Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America, Hulk and Avengers: X-Sanction before launching Amazing X-Men with Jason Aaron. McGuinness has reteamed with his Deadpool scribe Joe Kelly for Spider-Man/Deadpool and with Aaron on a blockbuster relaunch of Avengers.
